If you’re looking at a clean title 2022 and newer vehicles with less than 50K miles it is eligible for the $149 basic used car inspection special

We realize many are looking at newer/lower mileage vehicles that may be covered under a factory warranty and feel they don’t need a full blown inspection. Many of these vehicles may be lease returns, fleet or rental vehicles. There’s nothing worse than paying top dollar for a low mileage vehicle that has been damaged, abused, not had its recommended maintenance done, had paintwork or been in an accident. Be an educated and prepared buyer, every vehicle should be inspected no matter how new. Our gold inspection is a thorough but streamlined inspection designed with the newer/lower mileage vehicle in mind to save our clients money.
This more affordable inspection covers all of the major check points:
[faq group=included-with-every-inspection style=accordion order=ASC* ]
The five processes above are what we consider the most important aspects of a complete pre-purchase inspection. No other inspection choice provides the thoroughness of the inspection itself and all the information necessary to make an informed decision like PDXinspections.

  • Mechanical: Engine/Drivetrain inspection
  • Fluid analysis
  • Complete safety systems inspection (Seat belts and airbags)
  • Your PDXinspections pre-purchase inspection report (.pdf) is emailed to you directly from the inspection itself within minutes of completion. Your inspection report is easily read/printed using your computer, smart phone, iPhone/iPad or any other mobile device capable of reading PDF’s. They are easily read and understood, written in layperson terms with items of importance highlighted.

Our Gold inspection is designed for low mileage clean title newer vehicles likely still covered under warranty. The most important points are inspected. We still recommend you first viewing the vehicle in person prior to booking. What this inspection gives up when compared to our Platinum inspection, is some of the finer detail pertaining to condition/cosmetic points(noting finer details such as scratches/cosmetic damages), some of our component tests which in many cases are overkill on a lower mileage modern vehicle, lifting of the vehicle and a test drive.

This is a great deal for those who are considering purchasing a newer fleet/rental vehicle or someone who really just needs the insurance they’re not overpaying for a vehicle that has been involved in an accident or had previous paintwork. 90% of used car buyers are still buying vehicles based on information from a piece of paper alone. Everyday we inspect “Clean Carfax” cars with paintwork from cosmetic and accident repairs. We can offer you a thorough inspection as well as upfront research/history information for not much more than what you’d pay for the history report alone. Your PDXinspections report is still dispatched directly from the inspection. Our $149 inspection is still more thorough and a better value than any other inspection you’ll find. *Not acceptable for Salvage title vehicles, we will only inspect these vehicles using our Platinum inspection due to the extra time they take.

The choice is yours

We would still be happy to offer our complete Platinum inspection on any newer vehicle.

Scheduling Frequently Asked Questions

[expandsub2 title=”Hours” rel=”faqavailability-highlander”]Please refer to our days availability above. On the days we’re performing inspections we’re typically available to start inspections from sunrise to about 3:00PM. We are not currently performing inspections over the weekend.
[/expandsub2]

  • [expandsub2 title=”How do I pick an inspection time?” rel=”faqavailability-highlander”]Our availability above is only to show whether we’re available to perform inspections on a given day, we always contact the seller (typically on the morning of the inspection) to arrange the actual appointment (our 30 minute arrival window) after payment is made. We can attempt to accommodate sellers requests when specified in the order (early inspections are easiest for us to do so).
    [/expandsub2]

  • [expandsub2 title=”Do I need to be present for the inspection” rel=”faqavailability-highlander”]No, you’re not required to be present for the inspection. Assuming you’re local, we always recommend you first viewing the vehicle in person prior to booking an inspection. We strongly recommend avoiding having the vehicle inspected and planning on immediately purchasing it following the inspection in the same trip. This doesn’t allow appropriate time to properly digest and consider our findings from the inspection and make an educated decision.
    [/expandsub2]

  • [expandsub2 title=”Do you have any backup same day availability?” rel=”faqavailability-highlander”]We typically fill our schedule days in advance so while it is rare that we can accommodate same day inspections, we do sometimes have changes to our schedule (canceled inspections, running ahead of schedule, etc) that allow us to sometimes fit your inspection in. There is an additional $30 charge for “Same Day” inspections so please book at latest the night prior by 9pm to avoid these additional costs. If you need to check our same day/backup availability, please first check our availability calendar above to ensure there is an entry for todays date. If there is an entry for today feel free to email us with the Year/Model and location of vehicle to check our availability while we’re out in the field. If there is no entry to todays date, a same day inspection is not an option, please refer to the next day as displayed. [/expandsub2]
